README

QuotaBar

A lightweight macOS menu bar app that shows your Claude and OpenAI (Codex) usage limits at a glance. Zero dependencies — just Apple frameworks.

Formerly ClaudeUsageBar; renamed when OpenAI/Codex support landed. Existing installs keep working — the bundle identifier and Keychain item are unchanged.

What It Does

QuotaBar sits in your menu bar showing a usage window and its reset countdown. Click to see full details — both usage windows, color-coded progress bars, live countdowns, and a 24-hour usage trend sparkline.

It signs in on its own — a browser OAuth login (authorization code + PKCE) straight to Anthropic or OpenAI — and calls the usage API directly. Claude Code doesn't need to be installed, or logged in, or running.

**Multiple accounts.** Track more than one Claude account at once (e.g. personal + work). Each is signed in independently through its own browser login and refreshes independently, so nothing about one account affects another. With one account the menu bar is unchanged; with two or more it shows a compact per-account summary like `P 45% · W 82%`, with a full breakdown per account in the popover. See [Multiple accounts](#multiple-accounts).

**Key features:**

  • Sign in with just a browser — no Claude Code CLI, install, or login required
  • Track one or more Claude accounts, each signed in and refreshing independently
  • Track OpenAI / Codex accounts alongside Claude accounts — sign in with your ChatGPT account
  • Compact multi-account menu bar (P 45% · W 82%) with editable per-account prefixes
  • Color-coded (green / yellow / red) by usage level
  • Live reset countdowns that tick every second
  • Menu-bar di
